I heard the same thing on KISS 106.1 the other day. They reported that Ace and Chris were the biggest complainers in the house and they were glad that at least Ace was gone. I don't know that I believe it though, people can say anything.

Yeah, I can just hear Chris now: "Dammit, my hair looks awful! Can't you people hire competent stylists or do I have to put up with these second rate hacks from the WalMart Salon?"

Neither of them showed have showed diva-like sides to their personalities (yet, anyway!).. plus I remember a thread on FORT (it must be somewhere on pages 3 onwards?) about how some extremely lucky FORT member ran into 5 of the male contestants in a restaurant somewhere. She said they were very friendly and down-to-earth. Or, it could be my instinct to defend Chris coming into play here.

I don't know if I buy the Ace/Chris attitude story. I've heard several times that Chris is the nicest guy on the show.

I don't know how any of these kids can develop swelled heads so early in the game. Looking back at past idols, only a few from each season seem to have gone on to something significant. It's pretty shortsighted be prey to one's ego when the whole thing may be over pretty quickly (given the odds, I mean)....

Q: Well, you seem to be a magnet for all the tabloid reports. So I think the latest one is about you and Chris being difficult for producers to handle because you were constantly complaining. But I donít see that happening. Where do you think that comes from?

Ace: You should ask all the producers because actually last night at my farewell dinner, they told me that Iím the easiest person to deal with in American Idol history. And they loved the fact that I was in by curfew and I did everything that they needed to be done as far as the rules go. So I think itís just something to talk about, which is flattering.

Ace was on the Today show looking cute again. He said he was approached with many offers for doing various things, including reality TV. Katie read an Entertainment Weekly article that praised Ace and said that he can hit notes that Pickle could only dream of hitting. Hee! Ace said he was pleased with that review.
